Ohh, and how to turn off mail spamming me with done tasks

Hello,

It's not possible to change the Ctrl+Arrow keyboard shortcut. Task names are relatively short, therefore the Ctrl+Arrow shortcut is usually never used to jump between words. However, you can of course quickly go to the end of the line using the END key or use Ctrl+Shift+Arrow which will select the text, but can also be used to quickly move between words.

With Todoist Premium, you can add notes to task where you can put a much longer text and in a task note this shortcut will work normally.

Moving sub-tasks to history can be done either by holding Shift when checking it off or right-clicking on a task and choosing "Move to history".

You can unsubscribe from the Daily Digest emails by using the "click here to unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each such mail.

Best regards,
David

Hi David,

I actually disagree. Whether or not task names are short is at the user's discretion (even when notes are available), but by overriding system hot keys you're creating a different mode for the user, which is confusing and potentially distracting from the task at hand.

Not to mention that this functionality is context-dependent: I just tested the today view, for example, where ctrl+arrow will move to the beginning or end of the line as opposed to a nesting operation.

Of course, I'm not expecting you to defend design/UX decisions on the support forum, just saying that a certain key combination is "usually never used" is a value judgement... It will almost certainly be used by certain users and not by others.

Best,
-Shiri

Hi David,

Sure thing, I will add it now.
Not sure about the best alternative, but potentially a key combination that uses letters could work, e.g. Ctrl+j, Ctrl+k for nesting in or out could be a good option.
